... a major turning point in the history of

railways... the creation of MATISA and the

appearance of automated track maintenance. Ever

since it was established on 15 May 1945, MATISA has

been a major player in the railway world. Its founder,

Mr Constantin Sfezzo, was a passionate man and a

true entrepreneur. He was able to communicate his

passion and inspire his team of trailblazers. His spirit

still drives his successors.

MATISA created the machines at the source of the

mechanization of railway maintenance. The rst

tamping machine, «the standard», was developed in

1945.

Even though MATISA now boasts a long experience,

it has retained its pioneering spirit, and its passion

for innovation and research.

pioneer

MATISA has always been responsive to the needs

of its customers. The Technical Ofce works closely

with Production for the implementation of solutions

developed to meet new specic needs which are at

the forefront of the development of railways. Ever

faster transit speeds and growing requirements in

terms of punctuality and safety coincide with our

will to deliver the most efcient solution for the

construction and maintenance of railways all over

the world.

Close cooperation betweenthe Technical Office and

Production.

Did the ever increasing requirements for

speed, volume of passenger and freight trafc,

punctuality and safety boost research? Or did

technical and IT development make it possible

to increase the level of these requirements?

Actually, does it really matter ? The only thing

that counts is the result of the interaction

between these elements: high-speed railway

networks safely carrying more and more

passengers and goods.

MATISA offers a complete range of machines and

services. The quality, reliability and performance

of our tampers, ballast regulators, ballast cleaners,

track laying and renewal machines, as well as

the accuracy of our track measuring vehicles are

recognised worldwide. The intrinsic quality of our

machines is complemented by the high level of

service provided by MATISA Customer Service which

supports those machines right from the design stage

and throughout their working life.

MATISA aims to provide its customers high tech

products that are always at the cutting edge of

research. To do that MATISA relies on a team of

skilled employees. The search for the ideal solution

gives rise to a passionate exchange of ideas among

all stakeholders whose objective is the satisfaction of

our customers.

Today we are all aware of the need to preserve our

environment. Ecology has become a major player

in the global economy. Railways contribute to

environmental protection, since they represent an

efcient means of transport for people and freight,

in line with the concept of sustainable development.

MATISA helps protect the planet through the

reliability, effectiveness, economic

efciency and the durability of the

track construction and maintenance

machines it supplies to the networks and

Approval is an essential component in the marketing

process of the machines. Even though there is a

European regulation, each Member State adds its

own requirements to it.

Based in Crissier, the testing laboratory is an

independent organisation responsible for carrying

railway and approval tests in accordance with the

directives and country-specic requirements.

Accredited to the EN 17025 standard, the testing

centre takes care of the tests, trials and analyses

listed below:

T Safety against derailment for railway vehicles

running on twisted track

T Testing of running behaviour according to EN

14363 (UIC 518)

T Testing of the braking system

TWheel-by-wheel weighing

MATISA Customer Service, three words to describe

an entire sector of activity! This service provides the

link between MATISA and its customers for anything

concerning the activities related to the operation of

the machines throughout their lives. It is the junction

of commissioning, spare parts, retrotting operations,

documentation, training and skills networking that

are coordinated between the head ofce in Crissier

and the subsidiaries. In each of these activities the

idea of service is key.

Whether a machine will be effective and sustainable

is primarily determined by a good design and good

manufacturing; yet, the best product is nothing

without proper maintenance.

Small tampers

The range of small tampers is available in three

types of machines, each designed for very specic

applications. These machines are equipped with two

tamping units and one levelling and lining clamp.

The B 20-75is a simple and compact tamper, on axles, available

in two plain line designs with 8 or 16 tamping tools

and two universal designs with 8 tamping tools. It is

particularly suitable for narrow gauge networks, for

very restrictive clearance gauge or for limited axle

load.

The B 20-95is available in the same

designs as the B 20-75.

It can also be tted with

proling ploughs as well

as a trailer equipped

with a brush and a

hopper.

The B 38is an ultra-compact tamper on two bogies, available

in two universal designs. This machine has been

specically designed for narrow gauge networks,

for small track radius curves or for very deep

gradients.

Plain line tampers

The range of plain line tampers is available in four

types of machines on bogies. Two of them are

equipped with a self-propelled tamping shuttle

which allows continuous action. These machines are

equipped with two plain line tamping units and one

double roller levelling and lining clamp.

The B 45 A8is a compact plain line tamper with 16 tamping tools.

Well adapted for standard gauge networks, this

machine is particularly suitable for narrow gauge

networks, for very restrictive clearance gauge or for

limited axle load.

The B 50 A8is a compact, continuous action plain line, single

head, tamper with 16 tamping tools.

This machine has been specically designed for

narrow gauges and especially for the demanding

Japanese market, while being suitable for narrow

gauge networks over the world.

The B 45 Dis a compact plain line, double head tamper with

32 tamping tools. It achieves high performance by

tamping two sleepers simultaneously. This machine

is particularly suitable to work on main and high

speed lines, as well as for high-output track renewal

worksites.

The B 50 Dis a plain line, continuous

action, double head tamper

with 32 tamping tools. The self-

propelled tamping shuttle and

the simultaneous tamping of two

sleepers ensure very high output.

This machine is widely used in

track construction which involves

signicant track lifting and for the

maintenance of high-speed lines.

Universal tampers

The range of universal tampers is available in four

types of single head machines, on bogies, with

a total of 16 tamping tools. These machines are

equipped with four independent tamping units and

one levelling and lining clamp with hooks and rollers.

The B 45 UEis a compact tamping machine suitable for handling

the heaviest switches and plain line. Equipped

with tamping tools offering a lateral outer limit of

1,800 mm from the track axis, this

machine is also suitable for narrow

gauge networks or limited axle load.

The P 190is a compact track renewal train with a platform

capacity of 20 sleepers. Its rapid implementation and

high output make it the ideal solution for small to

medium length renewal sites (3 to 7 wagons carrying

sleepers). It is available for all track gauges (1,000

to 1,678 mm).

The P 95is a high output track renewal train with a platform

capacity of 30 sleepers. It is equipped with 12 rail

clamps which ensure that the rails will be perfectly

guided along the machine until they are positioned.

The traction force developed by the 8 driven axles

allows the P 95 to complete long renewal worksites

without any additional sleeper wagons.

The P 95 Tbenets from the presence of an excavation chain, of

the ballast cleaner type, placed before the dynamic

plough. This system makes it possible to keep or

even lower the level of the new track, according to

the difference in height between the old and new

track equipment, in narrow places where the dynamic

plough is unable to remove the ballast laterally (e.g.

station platforms, tunnels, or bridges). The excavated

ballast can be used for the reballasting of newly laid

sleepers, or removed.

The B 41 UEis equipped with the same tools as

the B 45 UE. Moreover, this machine has a working

cabin located in the middle of the machine for

an increased visibility on the tools. This tamper

is truly gaining popularity all over the United

Kingdom in “reduced gauge” conguration.

The B 66 Uis a high-output tamping machine with a tamping

tool lateral outer limit of 2,800 mm from the track

axis. It is particularly well suited for handling the

high speed line’s heavy switches.

The B 66 UCis a high-output tamping machine tted with a

tamping shuttle enabling high output in plain line.

This machine also has a tamping tool lateral outer

limit of 2,800 mm from the track axis. It is particularly

well suited for handling plain line and high speed

line’s heavy switches.

Track renewal trains

The range of MATISA track renewal trains builds

on 40 years of experience. The development and

commissioning of each new train were used to sharpen

the operational concept, always in close cooperation

with customers, in order to consider the evolution of

requirements.

Due to their very design, MATISA track renewal trains

ensure that the track geometry is automatically

reproduced identically. The working tools are

characterised by simple and fast movements

guaranteeing very high reliability and output. In

addition, the dynamic plough prepares the ballast bed

without creating any noise or dust.

directions and offers a wide range of possible working

positions, e.g a transfert of ballast from one shoulder

to an other in one single pass.

Ballast regulators on axlesThe R 20 is a compact and economic ballastregulator which can be loaded on a trailer.

Comfortable on the standard gauge networks,

the R 20 is particularly suitable for narrow gauge

networks and/or networks with limited axle load.

Particularly popular outside Europe, the R 20 has

demonstrated excellent reliability among its buyers.

Ballast regulators on bogiesThe R 24 is a high-output ballast regulator, especially

designed for the construction and maintenance of

high-speed lines.

The R 21 is a high-output machine which can beused on both plain line and switches work sites.

The latest generation of R 21 features a new driving

system that allows a combination of low axle load

with outstanding traction force.

Its modular concept allows the integration of

various optional equipment and will meet your most

demanding needs.

Ballast cleanersThe MATISA group has produced many models of

ballast cleaners, totalling more than 200 units since

1946. The experience thus gained is now serving

MATISA customers through the following models:

The C 75 is the agship model of high-output ballast

cleaners, which uses state-of-the-art technologies

combined with proven and reliable working methods.

The C 47 is the most versatile model, particularly

suitable for narrow running and track gauges, as well

as more one-off projects.

The work units of MATISA ballast cleaners are

designed to deliver high outputs:

Dredger:

Designed to excavate ballast under the track and

channel it into the hopper, the dredger ensures

minimum lift and great freedom in the working

method. It is controlled in depth and in cant to

monitor the geometry of the track under any

conditions, including in the counter-cant.

Screen:

It ensures a high output as well as excellent

screening quality thanks to its 3 tiers of

interchangeable grids which allow it to adapt to

any ballast grade and granulation characte ristics.

Ballast distribution: reballasting is designed in a

scalable way to ensure optimisation depending

on special requirements.

Horizontalisation of the frame:

The automatic system maintaining the machine in

the horizontal position makes it possible to optimise

the output of the work units at all times.

Measuring and guidance:

The C 75 is equipped with a very powerful CATT

type (Computer Aided Track Treatment) guidance

computer making it possible to reduce the number

of operators to a minimum of 2, one in the cabin and

the other on the track, beside the ballast excavating

unit.

Finally, a multitude of additional equipment can be

used to adapt and optimise MATISA ballast cleaners.

Track auscultation vehicles Transport wagons

To date, MATISA has delivered worldwide more than

200 track auscultation and recording vehicles and/

or on-board systems of various types and for track

inspection speeds of up to 250 km/h. The know-how

and experience built up by MATISA is epitomised in

particular in the current range of vehicles which is

available in 3 families:

M 10M 100

M 1000

The WTM switch transport wagons were engineered

and developed with the aim of optimizing and

controlling the maintenance costs of switches.

The MATISA WTM and AVES vehicles are used in

tandem with the “Just in Time” switches replacement

programme run by the Swiss Federal Railways

(SBB / CFF) whose goal is to replace switches in

a safe, fast and cost-efcient way. As part of this

project, MATISA has so far delivered 25 units to the

company EUROSWITCH AG, hence contributing to

the replacement of about 500 switches per year in

an optimized way.

This successful and sustainable experience with the

“Just in Time” project has allowed MATISA to expand

its market into Germany and Austria.

These various vehicles can be equipped with one

or more measuring systems to inspect as many

parameters of the railway infrastructure. MATISA’s

expertise in terms of measuring technologies

addresses the measurement and analysis of the

following:

T Track geometry

T Rail prolometry

T Internal aws of rails

Moreover, additional track auscultation needs are met

within the network of quality partners that MATISA

has created. In particular, MATISA can integrate:

T Auscultation of the infrastructure pertaining to

the overhead line

T Video auscultation of the track equipment

T Auscultation of the clearance gauge and the

environment by LASER scanner

T Auscultation of expansion joints

T Auscultation of axle box accelerations

T Etc.

The MATISA track auscultation vehicles are versatile

and adapt to each customer’s own requirements.

They are designed to meet European standards and

current UIC recommendations, on the basis of quality

procedures certied to ISO 9001 standard.

The WTMis a switches transport wagon. Its design enables

the WTM to carry any type of switches, whether in

wood, concrete or metal, new or old. Depending on its

conguration, the WTM can shift the loading platform

by 500 mm in its horizontal position to avoid various

obstacles such as poles, platforms or simply to avoid

engaging the working gauge.

Each type of WTM can also be equipped with a

transfer trolley for turnouts featuring sleepers up to

4,800 mm in length.

The AVESis a ballast transport wagon available in two

congurations, one featuring two bogies which can

be motorized, and the other with a hydrostatic drive
